SUMMARY: When they return from the Dark Dimension with Stefan, Elena tells Damon that she wants to forget about their feelings for each other, and all the times they had, for Stefan. But Damon doesn't want to forget, and he will do everything in his power to change Elena's mind…

'Bury it, I won't let you bury it

I won't let you murder it

I won't let you smother it

Cause our time is running out'

ELENA POV

"Yes, Damon. I'm sure." I said for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"If you just spoke to me, I'm sure I could change your mind…" He tempted. Just then, I heard Stefan calling me.

"Lovely little love!" He yelled from the bottom of the Boarding House stairs. Damon rolled his eyes, as he knew how much I despised the pet name my boyfriend had adopted for me.

"No, Damon. We can't think, we can't talk, and we can't mention any of what happened in the Dark Dimension. We both have to forget." Even if it is difficult, I thought. His eyes darkened.

"You and I both know that neither of us can forget what we feel for each other." I was about to interrupt, to tell him that I used to feel that, but I knew that I would be lying.

"Elena? Are you okay?" Stefan shouted.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'll be down in a minute!" I replied, in a falsely happy voice. "Damon, look, I have feelings for you. Always. But I can't betray Stefan like that. I don't want to be Katherine. I don't want to hurt him…" I exclaimed.

"Never say that. Never. You could never be Katherine. You are Elena Gilbert, you are beautiful, caring, amazing, clever, and you always have a plan from A to Z. And I love you for that!" He shouted. Wow, he had never downright said that he loved me. I mean, he'd implied it, but never made any move to say it.

"And I love you too, Damon Salvatore. I love you, but I also love Stefan. I can't betray-"The Vampire then interrupted me.

"If you love me, then you'll break it off with him. Until then, goodbye, Elena." He smirked at me, and then was gone.

STEFAN POV

"And I love you too, Damon Salvatore." The words rung in my head, not disappearing. Damon must have been pretty caught up in the heart-to-heart with my girlfriend to have not felt my presence on the other side of the door. But, given the way they were both shouting, I could've listened in from downstairs. Hearing Elena, tell my brother that she loved him, but didn't want to hurt me broke my heart. I could feel it cracking inside my chest, hear it rip in half. It was like Katherine all over again, just worse. But I couldn't just walk in on them. No. I would wait. Wait for the right moment. The right moment to let them know that I knew their little secret. Just you wait, brother. You won't have my Elena for long.

DAMON POV

I was walking down the main road of Fells Church, grinning like a maniac. Elena loved me! I almost felt, well, happy. I felt happy, because the woman I love, loved me back. I had a picture in my head, of her long blonde hair trailing down her back, her skin pale, abnormally beautiful. I wondered why she looked so beautiful in his mind. Ahh, yes, she was a vampire in this one. A vampire – finally his dark princess. I saw a dress shop down the road. Usually, I wouldn't stop to look at something like this, but a certain dress caught my eye. I walked into 'Black Boutique'. Everything in it was black, but not Goth black, subtle black.

"Excuse me, can I see the dress in the window?" I asked the salesperson. She held one up, and asked if it was the right one. I nodded, and she handed it to me.

"That one's £450." The woman said. I looked at her, my pupils getting smaller.

"I'm sure you can give it to me for £100, right?" I influenced her.

"That one's £100." She said, smiling.

"I'll take it!" The dress was black – to state the obvious – and was layered. There was a big black bow on the waist, and it was strapless. It was perfect for Elena – my princess of darkness.

ELENA POV

I spoke to Stefan for a while after the encounter with Damon. I wondered what he would do if I didn't dump his brother. Damon wouldn't hurt me, would he? I hoped not. Sitting in my room later on, I opened my Diary.

Dear Diary

Today, Damon told me he loved me. I should have told him that I didn't love him back, but instead, I admitted that I was head over heels for him. He told me that if I loved him, I would dump Stefan. Should I, diary? Is that really what I should do? I love Stefan, I do, but he's so plain, protective, like I was a doll that might break. Damon, on the other hand, was adventurous. We were like petrol and flame, together. Never knowing what might happen. Stefan is the safer chose, but I know that Damon is who I really want. Mum would've liked the elder brother, as well. She always liked a bad boy…

Stefan seemed off at the Boarding House. Sort of, well, withdrawn? Is that the only way to explain it? Probably.

So, anyway, I need to think about what I'll do about Damon.

Elena x

I loved Stefan, I truly did, but deep inside I knew he wasn't right for me. So that night, I went to Damon. But not after leaving a note.

Stefan,

Before I say what I have to, remember that I love you. I always will. Well, you're probably thinking that this letter isn't going to be me telling you something happy, and you're right. I'm sorry, Stefan, but although I love you, I love Damon more. Please don't hate me! That's the worst thing you can do now. I'll go to my grave knowing that I betrayed you, that I went behind your back, and if I think that you hate me, it'll just get worse.

So, I want to tell you not to worry about me, I'm fine. Don't come looking for me, I'm leaving Fells Church tonight. I'll probably be gone by the time you're reading this. Send my wishes to Bonnie, tell her good luck with her powers, and with Matt. Tell Meredith that I'll always have a Plan B, and that I love her, and thank you. Tell Matt goodbye, and that although we're not together, I still love him as a close friend. If you see Caroline, tell her she's still my friend, no matter what (and remind her not to freak Mrs. Forbes out by crawling around…). Tell Judith good luck, and to call me. I'll want to hear about the wedding, after all! Tell Robert to look after her. Make sure Alaric knows to care and cherish Meredith, a girl like her doesn't come around often. Tell Tyler not to harass any more girls in Graveyard's. And most of all, tell Margaret that I love her, to always remember me, that I love her, and to keep in contact, and that I love her.

I'll never forget you, Stefan. Once again, please don't come looking for me. I'm happy now.

Best wishes for all eternity,

Elena Gilbert

Damon POV

"Elena, I was just coming to see you!" I exclaimed, as Elena let herself into the Boarding House. She smiled, nervously.

"Is Stefan here?" She asked quietly. My smile dropped. So she was here for the other brother.

"No, he's out killing Bambi and all her friend's, and dropping the population by 10." She sighed, and became more relaxed.

"Good. I need to talk to you." She said. "I want you to take me to Florence." My mouth dropped. She sniggered. "Damon, close your mouth. You'll catch flies."

"I'm sorry. I must have misheard you. I thought you said that you want me to take you to Florence!" I laughed. Elena looked at me seriously, and the grin disappeared. "You were being serious?" She took a deep breath.

"Damon, I choose you. I have a letter for Stefan here, explaining everything, and I want to go to Florence. In a year, maybe you can change me. But for now, I just want to get away." I didn't believe it at first, but when I realized that Elena Gilbert wanted me to take her far, far away, I grinned like the lunatic I was.I ran over to her, and picked her up, then spun her in a circle. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and kissed me full on the lips. It was a short, yet passionate kiss, and it was all I needed to run out the door.

"Wait!" Elena yelled. I stopped, worried, putting her down. She walked to Stefan's room, I followed, and put the letter she was holding on his bed. "Now, we can go." We walked hand in hand, out of the Boarding House, then drove, out of Mystic Falls, forever.

Stefan POV

I watched the happy scene with tears in my eyes. That was my Elena, wanting to run to Florence with my brother. It was so wrong, yet so right. I could see in her eyes, that she really loved him. As soon as the happy couple left the house, I read the letter Elena had put in my room.

Stefan,

I'll never forget you, Stefan. Once again, please don't come looking for me. I'm happy now.

Best wishes for all eternity,

Elena Gilbert

And then, for the first time in 600 years, I cried.

A/N – A bit of a depressing end, but Damon and Elena got the happy end they wanted, right? And I gotta admit, I kinda wanted Stefan to be unhappy (-er) for once in his life.
